Skyman also takes place in the same universe as Dark Horse's Brain Boy, which is written by Fred Van Lente.

"[I'm] so honored to be a part of a line of comics that seek to bring back the classic feel of superheroes but in a thoroughly modern way. Plus, working alongside my buddies Josh Williamson and Fred Van Lente is a true treat," said Fialkov.

The new Skyman will make his debut in Captain Midnight #4 on October 30 ahead of the launch of his solo series.
